That's what I get for not using smileys I suppose.
Are you suggesting all black people have large white teeth?
Some of them have no teeth.

I'm not quite convinced all these actors wanted to do this. I think its bread and butter stuff, despite video games making much more money than movies. I saw Clease looking at his watch.
That's the feeling I got as well, which sucks because I love John Cleese. :[ But yeah, it looked like he was just doing it to get paid, the watch glance kind of gave that away. Plus he just all-around didn't seem very enthusiastic, and his line-readings were kinda boring and uninspired.
I'll call a spade a spade. .
Now you know it upsets EJ when you make racial slurs.
To "call a spade a spade" is not racist. Spade refers to the shovel, not the colour of someone's skin. It means to speak plainly yet truthfully.

One who leaves Judaism is re: as an a apostate, which is not a good thing. One who becomes a Jew is re: as having been born w/ a Jewish soul. Mind you, these are human judgements. As to what the Deity thinks, we can't be certain. As to tatoos, I suspect, although I'm not sure, that the issue came up because of the Holocaust. I'd have to look into it further.
Just think, what will you do in a trillion years when you've seen and done everything in creation?
Although it is clear that Columbus could sail easily across the Atlantic irrespective of the shape of the Earth (whether it were round like a ball, like a disc, or for that matter, even square), Magellan was able to circumnavigate the globe. The question is this. Although one can indeed leave Spain and return to it on a flat disc-shaped Earth, on a mono-polar map, the further South one goes the more messed up one's time frame becomes, and Magellan went pretty far South (all the way to the tip of South America, in fact; the Straits of Magellan are obviously named for him). A bi-polar map also presents problems in terms of time frame and distance. How can this be explained? I have to wrap this up, as I'm on a VERY unstable wi-fi connection (pulling off a neighbour). I'll get back on my phone. But any ideas?
Markjo, in the USA, 86% of people identify as Christian. 46% attend a house of worship @ least once a month. I know Western Europe is much more secular, but still, outright atheism is rare there too. Most people in Western Europe prefer a vague Deism. So why is the FES, whose strength has always been the UK & the US, different?
We're an internet community. Internet communities tend to be more secular than physical ones, in my experience. I don't really know why.

In fact, the oft said statement 'religion is the opiate of the masses' was never actually said in so many words, I don't think.
Over here it's not easy money.Are you suggesting that British doctors don't get paid? They still get money, they just don't get it (directly) from you. It goes from you to the government to the NHS to the doctor.
It's not any money. That's the beauty of the NHS, I don't get mugged for cash once a year so the doctor can tell me I'm still 5ft 7inches tall and 10stone.
So, why would a doctor not order routine tests for a non-routine appointment? Don't forget that the medicine is a business. Unless you come in overly frequently for screening and keep getting a clean bill of health, why would the doctor turn down easy money?Who originally claimed cancer? Early stages of cancer often have no symptoms. In fact, it would be preferable to find any cancer before any symptoms become evident. This is why routine screening (including blood work) is so important.
I don't know who originally, It's a long way back.
And we've already established it's not a routine appointment, that's an entirely different matter and would have no bearing on the situation.

That is exactly my point. The doctor makes no assumption about you health. He does not assume you have cancer. He also doesn't assume you DON’T have cancer. He make no assumptions about your health until more evidence is collected.So please tell me which scenario the doctor automatically assumes you have nothing wrong with you?
The original claim was cancer.
All through that example you have yourself providing evidence to the doctor that something is wrong with you.
No assumption needed, once you've provided evidence that something is wrong the doctor finds out WHAT.
So please tell me which scenario the doctor automatically assumes you have nothing wrong with you?
Who walks into the doctor's and gets an appointment if it is not either a routine check up or a complaint of something specific? I think a routine check up is the minimum care you would expect.I know, but had to give an example based on their claim.
you did.
the original claim that if you go tell a doctor you've got cancer he will simply start treating you or running tests with no evidence presented.
He won't, He'll ask you to show some evidence and if you can't he'll suggest some possible evidence you might have noticed and if you still can't he'll ask you what makes you think you have cancer and if there's STILL no evidence being provided he'll send you on your way because he's not going to run a full set of tests just because you woke up and thought you had some nebulous cancer of the "I don't know what", with no symptoms
No, the original claim was that the doctor will automatically assume you don't have cancer.
I have shown that the doctor has no assumptions about your health when you walk in the door.
There are routine things that a happens at a doctors office before the doctor even sees you. They weigh you, the get your height, they get your blood pressure. All of these things are diagnostics to help determine if there is a significant variation to what is normal.
Which tests would these be?Incorrect. Since early stages of cancer often exhibit no obvious symptoms, the doctor will most likely order some routine tests just to be safe.Who walks into the doctor's and gets an appointment if it is not either a routine check up or a complaint of something specific?
